Donore, Co. Meath

Donore , historically Dunower, is a small village near Drogheda in County Meath, Ireland. It lies on the MeathâLouth border in the Boyne Valley on the road between Drogheda and the BrÃº na BÃ³inne heritage site. Donore is only 2 km from the visitors' centre at BrÃº na BÃ³inne. During the late 17th century, the village was used as a defensive position by the Jacobite army of King James II against King William III during the Battle of the Boyne . The village has undergone much growth in recent years as a result of its location near the recent extension of the M1 motorway.

The village has a pub and restaurant, shops, a pharmacy, a take-away and a hairdresser.
